Atalanta lose Cuadrado for big Week 29 Scudetto clash with Inter

Atalanta have announced their squad for the Scudetto showdown with leaders Inter, as Juan Cuadrado will not face his old club, but Ederson is ready.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Sunday at 19.45 GMT.

La Dea are now out of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia, so can focus all their attention on the Serie A race.

Several players are long-term absentees, such as Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini.

Stefan Posch arrived from Bologna in the January transfer window, but after a couple of appearances he too picked up an injury.

Cuadrado started last week’s 4-0 victory away to Juventus, sustaining a muscular issue that made him leave the pitch at half-time, and he is not even in the squad to face Inter.

Ederson had been in doubt too, though the midfielder is included and expected to start.

Midfield alternative Ibrahim Sulemana is out of action too for Atalanta.
